The UT Tyler Cheer, Dance, and the Mascot teams went to NCA / NDA College Camp. There were over 20 different colleges there with some extremely talented athletes. The cheer and dance team came home with bids to Nationals and Cheer won the second-place award in the Game Day Competition, behind SMU who won 1st in the Small Coed Intermediate D1 division last year. We are so excited for this upcoming season.

UT Tyler has announced the addition of an all-girl STUNT competitive cheerleading program for the 2017-18 season and the co-educational competitive cheerleading for the 2018-19 season. STUNT is a cheerleading-based activity which removes the crowd-leading element and focuses on the technical and athletic components of cheer, including partner stunts, pyramids, basket tosses, group jumps and tumbling.

UT Tyler Spirit Squad head coach Maggie Williams Koehn is in her first season leading the Patriots cheer and dance team and is on the Houston Rockets Launch Crew where she and her team “bring the party to the court”.
